About Todd Helton, Hall of Famer

Todd Helton was a first baseman who spent his entire 17-year MLB career with the Colorado Rockies after being drafted in 1995. A Tennessee native who played college baseball and football for the Volunteers, Helton became one of baseball's most consistent hitters. A five-time All-Star, four-time Silver Slugger, and three-time Gold Glove winner, he holds nearly every Rockies franchise record, including hits, home runs, and RBIs. His peak years from 1999 to 2004 were remarkable, with Helton winning the 2000 batting title and leading MLB in multiple offensive categories that season. He helped the Rockies reach the 2007 World Series and retired in 2013 after collecting his 2,500th hit. Helton was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2024.

Did you know? In 2000, Helton became only the fourth player in National League history to lead the league in both batting average and RBI, and the fifth player in all of MLB history to record 200 hits, 40 home runs, 100 RBI, 100 runs, 100 extra base hits, and 100 walks in a single season.
